Celebrities Who Turned Down Marriage Proposals

Stacey Dash

The conservative talk show pundit says she’s turned down six marriage proposals.

Anne Heche

Anne Heche’s boyfriend, James Tupper, has been proposing once a year for eight years now. Heche turns him down every time. When talk show host Seth Meyers asked Heche if she’d ever accept his proposal, she joked, “Hell no, I now have eight rings…”

Kenya Moore

Kenya Moore says she’s turned down seven marriage proposals over the years. Do you think her new man, James, will pop question number eight?

Katy Perry

After a year of on-again-off-again dating with Katy Perry, singer John Mayer allegedly dropped down on one knee and popped the question. Unfortunately for Mayer, she was not looking for a happily ever after with him. She said:

“I still am madly in love with him. All I can say about that relationship is that he’s got a beautiful mind. Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds.”

That had to sting…

Jennifer Aniston

Apparently, John Mayer has been a busy boy. Allegedly, Jennifer Aniston said that she turned down a proposal from him too!

Susan Boyle

The Britain’s Got Talent sensation says that she turned down a marriage proposal because she didn’t like the way the guy asked for her hand: “I did get one but I sent the letter back because he was cheeky.”

But Boyle — who’s now worth around $30 million — says that she’s not looking for a relationship anyway.

“If I wanted a toyboy I would have got one by now.”

Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger allegedly rejected Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton’s proposal three times before finally ending their relationship of seven years in February.

Betty White

Betty White says there’s nothing wrong with making a man wait a little. Her late husband, Allen Ludden, spent a year proposing to her and each time he asked she said no. That is until one Easter when he sent her a fluffy white bunny with diamond earrings and a note that said “Please say yes.” White finally did!

Selena Gomez

Last year, Justin Bieber was allegedly spotted out buying a wedding ring for his on-again-off-again love Selena Gomez. She ended up saying no to his alleged proposal, ending their on-again-off-again way of doing things for good.

Tahiry

Love & Hip Hop New York fans remember the nail-biting moment when Joe Budden proposed to his on-again-off-again love Tahiry — and she said no in response. Why? Tahiry said she couldn’t say “yes” to a man she didn’t feel like she could trust.

Reese Witherspoon

When Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were dating from 2007-2009, Gyllenhaal allegedly surprised her with a romantic Italian vacation — and a public proposal. Even though the gesture was very romantic, the Oscar winner had to say no. Her divorce from Ryan Phillippe was just too fresh.

Angelina Jolie

Sometimes “no” isn’t the end of the story. Remember when it seemed like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were never going to get married? That wasn’t his idea. Back in 2011, Life & Style reported that Pitt popped the question and Angie turned him down. An insider revealed:

“Angie has no interest in doing it. She loves her image just as it is. She loves having a big family and wants more kids, but she doesn’t feel the need to be married.”

But after their kids expressed an interest in seeing them married, Pitt and Jolie finally tied the knot last year.

Pauletta Washington

Who would turn down a proposal from Denzel Washington?! Pauletta Washington, that’s who. She said that she turned Denzel’s proposals down twice before she finally agreed to marry him.

Britney Spears

In 2009, Britney Spears proposed to her boyfriend Jason Trawick only to get a firm “no.” Trawick allegedly just “wasn’t impressed by fame” and “takes marriage very seriously.”
